About the adventure
Grab your hat, pack your rations, and ready your dice! Adventure calls from the heart of the jungle! A mysterious death curse is sweeping across the world, stealing souls and draining the life from any who’ve ever been brought back from the grave. The trail leads to Chult, a wild and uncharted land of roaring dinosaurs, lost cities swallowed by the jungle, and ancient gods best left undisturbed. When a retired hero named Syndra Silvane calls for brave souls to help her uncover the truth, it’s time to board a ship, sail into the unknown, and test your mettle where few have ever returned. From bustling port towns to rain soaked ruins, you’ll hack your way through dense jungle, uncover hidden temples, and outwit cunning rivals and deadly traps. Rival expeditions, Red Wizards of Thay, and snake hearted cults all hunt the same sinister prize, the Soulmonger, a device said to devour the very essence of life itself. Each step takes you closer to danger, deeper into mystery, and further from any chance of turning back. Beneath the lost city of Omu, the Tomb of the Nine Gods awaits, a gauntlet of tricks, traps, and treasure designed by the cruelest mind in history. Spirits whisper in the dark, stone doors groan under ancient curses, and only those with courage, cleverness, and a touch of luck will survive to see the sunlight again. Perfect for new and experienced adventurers alike, this campaign blends exploration, survival, and puzzle solving with classic D&D danger. Gather your party, sharpen your wits, and prepare to face the jungle because in Tomb of Annihilation, every step could be your last.

About me
🎲 Hey there, adventurer! Board games have been a lifelong tradition in my family and when my stepdaughter asked for Dungeons & Dragons one Christmas, we dove in headfirst and never looked back. I started as a player, but soon found my true calling behind the screen as a Dungeon Master. Since then I’ve run games for friends, family, and online players from all walks of life, ranging from complete beginners to seasoned vets. While D&D 5e is my mainstay, I’ve also explored systems like Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Pathfinder, and Torchbearer, and I’m always excited to try something new. ✨ My GM Style: I’m a laid-back but passionate DM who lets players set the pace and tone. I come prepared but love the surprises my players throw at me; I’m here to build the story with you, not railroad it. I’m big on immersion, creative roleplay, and collaborative storytelling. 🌈 Everyone’s Welcome at My Table: Inclusivity and respect are non-negotiable. I foster a safe, welcoming space where players of all backgrounds and experience levels can thrive. New to D&D? No problem! I love helping players find their rhythm and bring their characters to life. If you’re looking for fun, immersive roleplay with a GM who truly loves the game and the people who play it, pull up a chair. I can’t wait to roll some dice with you!

Creating your character
-A FREE Session 0 will be used to discuss what to expect in the campaign and make your characters together in order to create a solid cohesive party. -Characters will start at level 1 and we will be using 2014 Ruleset and content. I have a DnD Beyond Hero account so I can share my character creation options with you plus there are additional backgrounds and races available through the module. -Characters will be created on DnD Beyond and then I will import the characters into Foundry. If you don't have a DnD Beyond account(free or otherwise) or do not wish to create one, characters can be created directly in Foundry.

What Clwnbaby brings to the table

How Clwnbaby creates a safe table
We will have a FREE Session 0 where we go over some of the themes in the campaign to make sure everyone is okay with or omit content contained within the campaign. I employ an X card on Foundry which is completely anonymous and can be used by any and all players to avoid any uncomfortable situations. The location and use of the X will be explained in the Session 0. Before and after sessions I will also do a pow wow with players to make sure everyone is okay and we are all on the same page and move forward in a safe and fun environment.
